Pros

Long term vision Engaged, strong leadership Opportunity for growth and challenges Focused roles and responsibilities Transparent leadership goals Transparent decision making Leadership doesn't "kill the messenger" Management grows employees, cares about having the right employees in the right jobs Focus on "no surprises" - employees are encouraged to tell the truth, challenge leadership when appropriate and necessary No "flavor of the month" leadership - what you see is what you get, from the very top down Real emphasis on what it takes for everyone to be successful

Cons

Steep learning curve - the culture is significantly different than most everywhere else, and learning the language and values is challenging Company is strongly focused on "decision rights" - it's a definite adjustment from places where employees need permission for everything. That's great if you are the kind of employee who wants to own execution and outcomes, but it can be an uncomfortable adjustment for mid career employees coming from other organizations. You're either a fit for this culture or you aren't. If you don't want ownership, responsibility, and the consequences for your actions, this isn't the place for you. You're responsible for understanding the business, what's valuable to the business, and contributing to that value. If you just want to punch the clock and get paid, this isn't for you.
